8. regarding a power surge, kitchen radio, which I turned on BEFORE the lights did not trip

nor did the clock on the stove, nor did the microwave timer, nor did the ground fault circuit interrupter trip.

I had the circuit box upgraded to bring a 1950s house into the power needs of the 21st cent.

All 8 light bulbs were installed within an hour of each other, all were bought from the same hardware store, same day.
I'm comfortable with the idea that after several thousand turn on turn offs, it was death by usage.

Thanks for the idea though
